My choice was quite easy: I pretty much go for all the new tablets. I can't possibly buy all the Android tablets. But the none-iOS/none-Android units still are rare enough and I want to test them out.
So I've got PlayBook and TouchPad.

PlayBook has the Kobo app, so I've switched from Kindle to Kobo (for now). I already had about 50 eBooks from Kobo, in the last 3 weeks I've bought another ca. 50.
On TouchPad, quite disastrously, there's no reading app yet! Kindle had been announced and even still is mentioned in their market app, but not (yet?) available.

Both, PlayBook and TouchPad, give me the very same experience: Their respective OS beats iOS anytime and is ahead of Android. But with such limited apps (I've got about 30 on PlayBook and even less on TouchPad, whereas I've got 2.195 apps for iOS) I see a huge danger of them "dying quietly". I really hope for the Android player/emulator forPlayBook and something similar on TouchPad...
